Crews from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue attended blaze at Southampton pub

Crews from St Mary’s, Redbridge and Hightown were alerted shortly after 3am to an incident at a pub in Town Quay, Southampton.

Upon arrival, firefighters found smoke and flames issuing from the building.

The firefighters wore breathing apparatus sets before extinguishing the blaze using hose reel jets and it is believed that the blaze was caused by an electrical fault.

HIWFRS cleared smoke from the premises using ventilation fans before the incident was handed back to the landlord.

Crews left the scene and returned to station at around half four following the stop message.
